Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I used to work as a receptionist at this nail salon about 2 years ago, but was very on and off. Judy Vu/Tran is the owner of the Nailagio/Nailissimo establishment. She had ripped off customers and employess by cash only transactions by telling customers that the credit card machine wasn't working even when it was. Told be to not accept checks from black people. She had me fill out a W-2 form but is claiming i signed a 1099 form. She also does not strictly enforce her employees to clean their tools after every use. she pays her employees half cash and half checks. She seems to cover up her scam tracks, but there is a flaw. She still owes me $300 plus probably another $500 for the fees i have to pay because of her false claims.

Pamela, who did not disclose her last name, said that she worked at my salon 2 years ago as a receptionist. She forgot to mention that HER SERVICES WERE TERMINATED. As an employer, I cannot disclose confidential details about an employee, and can only say that Pamela's report is typical of a disgruntled former employee. I will answer her concerns as follows: 1. Pamela claims that the salon "ripped off customers and employees by cash only transactions". HOW ? There is only one price list, and the customer decides how to pay, whether it's cash, check, or credit card. 2. Pamela claims that she filled out a W-2 form. A W-2 form is a Wage and Tax Statement that an employer sends to the IRS. A 1099 form is a report of income, also sent to the IRS by an employer. Pamela is NOT the employer, HOW COULD SHE HAVE FILLED OUT HER OWN W-2??? As she admitted herself, she worked "very on and off" for the salon. She meets the definition of an independent contractor whose income is reported to the IRS with a 1099 form. 3. Pamela admits that she was a receptionist. In that capacity, how did she know anything about the salon's employees pay arrangements and the cleaning procedures of the cosmetologists? 4. Pamela claims that she is owed $300. If she is owed that money, she did not say what it was for and has never made such a claim. As to the $500 of "fees" that she had to pay, no one knows what "fees" Pamela paid and to whom. Pamela's false report made no sense and we will no longer respond to these kinds of malicious allegations from someone whose services were terminated for cause. We will seek advice of legal counsel and take appropriate action should Pamela continue to make false allegations.

I am sorry to hear your ripoff by these owner. This matter if it is real, just contact IRS for Tax fraud, call or email them, need provide some hard evident. Call or write State board for sanitation violation, if it is true, they will be facing big fine. I knew this may be real about tax fraud but most case will not report because employee also benefit from it. So if you can let it go, let it go, if not just do your report. You may sign W-3 witholding form, it may not nessary for W-2, it also will be use for 1099. Most nail salon use independent contractor like, so they can avoid employment tax, it may be illegal if the owner keep the sevice money. You may have an upper hand to tell the owner what you will do, i think they will pay you back (if they own you money). Good luck.
